The corrosion properties of implanted materials with protective coatings in isotonic physiological solution

In applied medicine a great variety of stems, spokes, screws, pins made of pure metal and alloys are widely applied for purposes of orthopedic and trauma surgery operations. The use of metal materials has a big disadvantage connected with the problems of the patient organism protection from deleterious effects of metallogenic and electrochemical reactions, metal toxicoses. Therefore one of the most important characteristics of implanted materials is their corrosion resistance. The present study is devoted to the realization of the comparative analysis of corrosion properties of modern implanted materials and coatings in simulated body fluid and their long-term behaviour in animate organism.
